    'A majority of those that had their vote recorded, not a majority of the population." Yes, but if people who oppose something don't care enough to go & vote against it, that's their fault, not the winning candidate. He got a majority from the people who cared, that's what counted!

    Wouldn't this 'slaughter of the regular Palestinian people' stop if Hamas put down their weapons and stopped killing Israelis? Without a threat from Hamas, Israel has no need to continue it's aggression. A total ceasefire by Hamas could resolve the issue!

    Problem is that it's just not one crossing in one place, it's everywhere. Thais will not stop for pedestrians it's not in their culture. It would take many years and a complete National re education effort to change this.

    I feel your pain. After living in Thailand for many years I decided to retire in the Philippines. 14 years ago I got their retirement visa and have NEVER visited an IO since. It's all handled by the PRA, a separate agency. No corrupt payments or ridiculous made-up rules.

    Over the years I have met many Thai teachers of English, their understanding of the language is terrible. With the Thai education system tho their livelihood is NOT dependent on it!

    Didn't daddy Thaksin do some shady tax moves when he sold his company years ago?

    How can you do that when it doesn't take effect till 1 May and the article says you can't complete it less than 3 days before your flight ?

    I can't see this ever happening to the Teflon bureaucrats. I am just amazed he got a jail sentence, tho whether he serves the 5 years is another matter

    I would have thought that his actions make him well qualified for the job. He probably couldn't find the right person to pay off as he did for his previous promotions. The story will disappear into the journalistic black hole and he will be fine.

    Wasn't it a condition of his parole/freedom that he stayed out of politics? He just wanted to play with his grandkids he said. Liar!

    Nice move guys. People make international travel plans well in advance. Today I booked a return ticket for 16th May, giving my partner and I 35 days in Thailand. To get a visa we have a 2 hour + trip to Manila, and pick it up 2 business days later, not an easy or cheap process. Hopefully they will give this change their usual effective implementation.

    You want to give ladyboys a 30 day visas! The tourist was not aggressive, but that wonderful Thai culture can't handle criticism. If you are going to get on the 'ban 60 day' bandwagon at least pick a relevant thread

    That would have no effect at all. Corruption is so entrenched in the police force (indeed in all of Thailand) that they will just continue to collect. It's what they join up for!

    No it's not! Dogs around me bark at anything and everything they see. Happens all the time, at any time and everybody just ignores them because it means nothing!

    There are no 'free visas', they are 'Visa Free' entries. A Tourist Visa requires an application, providing data on the tourist, which can be verified. These folk just turn up at the airport and are let in.
